y S7 startet a small fire at the charging port. Did anyone else experience that?

It was not the battery but at least the charging port burned during fast charge.

I was using the officially supplied Fast Charger which came with the phone.
Seems the phone got so hot that it switched off. The phone was lying on the carpet while it happend. Luckily it didn't lit the carpet next tpo my bed while I was sleeping...

I've put detailed info into this video:

Samsung picked up the phone today, waiting for their reply.
As far as I know there was no damage on the phone prior to the event. Even the Liquid Damage Indicator is ok.
The Phone was 6 month old.

Should I better use wireless charging overnight in the future? Any experience?

Good to hear your ok.

I would suggest personally not laying the phone on anything combustible when charging.

I have the official fast charger and the Samsung fast charging stand but prefer normal charging. That way my phone does not heat up and their is thought that fast charging reduces the life span of the battery.
